I met a guy who stutters and he makes me feel hopeful about living with my stutter

I met a guy who stutters and he makes me feel hopeful about living with my stutter I’ve had a stutter my whole life. It only got worse as I got older. I met this guy at a social event and his stutter was really bad, even worse than mine. He works for a government agency that requires a lot of public speaking. He seems like a confident guy and isn’t afraid to let his stutters out here and there. I didn’t discuss this with him but I think the fact he has a good relationship with his boss made him feel more confident. And I’ve been reflecting a lot about my condition. My job is similar to his. I only stutter badly when I’m in an uncomfortable environment, when I’m stressed or when I’m hyperfocused on how people will know that I stutter. But at work where I’m confident and allowed to talk on technical subjects without any script, my stutter gets better. Is everyone like this? Like, I can’t read anything out loud in front of people, but I prefer to say them in my own ways. So I think that it’s a privilege to be in an environment where you’re allowed to be confident. But I just wanted to share with you that I believe there’ll come a time when you know how to live with it. And maybe then you’ll stutter less.
